Rootstock

Our third Rootstock festival takes place on Saturday 22nd June. The weather has been fantastic for the first two, so lets hope it behaves itself on Saturday.

At last years Rootstock there was a great mix of musical styles, folk, hip hop and stuff that we’d rather not categorise, try as we might. As well as the music our arts and crafts stalls are always popular giving our community the opportunity to experience togetherness through music, arts and food.

The festival is outdoors and the attractions are accessible for all. Our site is alcohol free. There is no booze and no bull, making the entire day an enjoyable experience for all.
